Jorge Grant scored a spectacular overhead kick as Lincoln City romped to an 8-0 victory over Leicester City Under-23s this afternoon.

In a match played at the Foxes’ Belvoir Drive training base, Cian Bolger opened the scoring in the 10th minute when he headed home Grant’s corner.

The second goal arrived on 27 minutes when Jack Payne’s shot hit the post and rebounded to Bruno Andrade, whose effort was kept out before being tapped into the net by John Akinde, although there were suggestions the ball had already crossed the line.

Grant was involved again as City made it 3-0 on 34 minutes when he set up Ellis Chapman, who scored from close range.

At half-time, Grant Smith, Harry Anderson and Michael O’Connor, making his first appearance of pre-season, replaced Josh Vickers, Andrade and Chapman.
